Abstract:
The reactions of the benzimidazole nitrogen atoms and the exocyclic amino group of 2-aminobenzimidazole with CS2 in NaOH basic medium followed by methylation with methyl iodide was explored. With careful control of the stoichiometric quantities and addition sequences, this set of reactions allows the selective functionalization of the benzimidazole ring with N-dithiocarbamate, S-methyldithiocarbamate or dimethyl- dithiocarboimidate groups. The products were characterized by 1H-, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and three of them by X-ray diffraction analysis. The preferred isomers, tautomers and conformers were established.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
